IMPROVEMNT IN- HURN-DASHERS- The Schedule referred to in than LetteraPatent an'd making part of the name.

Be it known `that I, A. BELT, of Newton, in the county of Jasper, and inthe State of Iowa, have invented cert-aiu new and useful ImprovementsinGhurn- Dashers; and I do hereby declare that. the following is afull,clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to 'theaccompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon,making a part of f this specification.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction of a churn-dash,of the^shape of an in` verted pan,made of any material, larger at thebottom than at the top, with sufficient pertbrations at'both top andsides to thoroughly agitate the milk or cream.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my inventionappertains, to make'aud use the same, I will now proceed 'co-describeits construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings, in

'which- Figure 1 is a vert-ical section, and

Figure 2, a perspective view of my churn-dasher.

A represents the top of the churn-dasher, made of goed, and perforatedwith any desired number of oles. l

In the centre of the top A, is secured the rod or shaft B. Y

Around the edge of the'top A, is placed a rim, C, of'tin, extendingdownward a suitable'distance, and being wider at the lower edge than atthe top, presenting the appearance of an inverted pan.l The rim O isalso perforated with any desired number of holes.

y The shape of the `daslxer enables me to get the largest amount ofagitation of milk possible.

The upper or wooden portion A being perforated I with holes,'and thesides of tin also being wider at the bottom, collects a large quantityof milk or cream, and the space contracting asthe milk ascenda, it`is.forced ont at the perforations in the tin, as well as in the woodenportion, giving the milk a violent agitation, and thereby producing goodbutter in less time .than any other dash; then, for gathering thebutter, it excels, and is more easily cleansed than any other dash. f

` I donot. wish to be understood as confining myself to any particularmaterial of which to make my dasher, as it may be `made of any othermaterial than above mentioned; although I prefer toV make the upper partof the dash of wood, to give it strength and durability, and the lowerpart of tin, to make it light, and easily -handled while churning.

Having thus fully described my invention,

iVhat I claim as new, and .desire to secure by Letters Bat-ent, isy Thewithin-described churn-dasher, formed of an inverted panshaped connectedto horizontal perforated wood piece A, and connected to the staff B, allas shown 'and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I lhave hereunto set my hand,this 7 th day of October, 1869.
